Thoughts on Sig P220 10mm

[DChartier]

Hello everyone,

I'm getting a bug to buy a Sig P220 in10mm. I've held the .45-caliber version of the P220, and it feels great in my hand. Since I already have a Sig P229 in .40-cal, I feel I already have a "practical" pistol that uses readily-available, cheap ammo and meets my needs for personal defense. That said, I think I'm willing to take the hit on the relative cost and inconvenience of getting 10mm ammunition.

I've wavered back and forth between buying a .45 and a 10mm. My main interest in the 10mm is the fact that it's a great cartridge that one doesn't see very often. I'm curious what people's thoughts are on the P220 and the 10mm. I'm especially interested if anyone bought the .45 or 10mm and wishes he bought the other caliber.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,
Doug

Sounds like you’ve already made your decision. If you can feed the beast, I say go for it.

I'm also interested in a P220 chambered in 10mm. Though i'm pretty sure 10mm is off roster. Is your plan to buy/PPT an off-roster 10mm P220, or swap a 10mm barrel/slide to an on-roster P220?

[DChartier]

Serious, it's off-roster? I feared that.... If that's the case,
I guess my decision will be an easy one.... :-(

Yep, I didn't see it on the roster. https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/certguns In fact, the only 10-mils on the roster were the Glock 20 and 29 and a couple Kimbers. No Glock 40. My choices shall be limited....

An aluminum framed 10mm? I guess their engineers tested it for durability? I'm surprised it isn't a steel frame not only for strength but also shootability with full tilt 10mm loads.

The amount of different pistols being produced a Sig today who knows. Bruce Grey did a group conversion years ago. You would have to search Sig Talk.

The Sig P220 Elite in 10mm are nicely fitted guns.

If you aren’t exempt, a 10mm Sig will cost you many pints of selling your blood on the black market to purchase it. You could buy both a P220 in .45, and either a G20 or G29 in 10mm for much less and enjoy both calibers. (You can do some barrel/slide swapping with certain Glocks, but I’m not a big fan of that route). 10mm is a fun cartridge because you can go from mild to wild as you wish. Or, you can find a G40 for around $1200 or so on here, put an RMR and co-witnessed sights on it, and really have some fun. Good luck!

My thoughts are that if I could go down to the store and buy one for MSRP, I'd do it right now.

Affordable, easily available ammo is the problem.
And ... why 10mm? - unless you're a collector.
